The trees can survive in European climates, but they won't thrive because they need the temperature to hit minis 18 celcius to enter dormancy in winter which makes the sap possible. In other words, a lot more work than you would get out of sugar beats or sugar cane.Īn interesting fact is you can make syrup if you want out of other trees. Now a days you have pretty neat taps and plastic bags, but if you use wood to cook the still down, we run shifts all night of spitting wood and feeding the cooker. So you will only get a 2 to 4 week window in Northern Wisconsin for the Golden Sap you want. When trees are flowing, there are different sap stages as more sap moves from further in the roots and up. And you usually tap the tree every 3 to 5 years, so it takes a forest for production. On a good year-70 gallons of sap will make 1 gallon of unfiltered syrup (which will give you the runs) or maybe 3/4 gallon filtered syrup.Ī bad year (low sugar) once took around 120 gallons of sap. I can input as someone who helps his uncle make low batch syrup each year. Previous AMAs | Previous Roundtables Featuresįeature posts are posted weekly.
